Thank You, Veterans!

On Veterans Day, we honor men and women who have served and sacrificed in one of America’s armed services.

On November 11, 1918, America and her allies signed a truce with German leaders, ending World War I.  In 1919, President Wilson decided the United States should remember with gratitude the end of that war and honor military members by marking Armistice Day, or “truce” day.  In 1954, Congress changed the name to Veterans Day, to honor all U.S. military veterans of every era.

Veterans Day is a reminder for us to pray for and honor all who have served and sacrificed, as well as support and assist their families.
